Exact duplicates of the children's signs in
Denmark.
Was it a free choice, or were they forced
by the mother country? It doesn't matter because it is one of the best signs on
the market: nicely clad children, well behaving and drawn by an expert.
No remote part of Europe is remote enough not to
be hit by bad design. The sweet children from past times are replaced by characterless
nobodies with heads far too big. One tiny positive point: the heads are mounted on a neck,
a feature usually not present on this kind of roadsigns.
More things happened during the conversion:
- All gender signals were dropped.
- The bookbags are now both at the outside.
- The tallest person is now leading the party. This swap of persons during the
modernization step happens in all but very few countries. (see South-Africa)
